Two late crashes in the Amp Energy 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Talladega Superspeedway stole the headlines from Roush Fenway Racing's Jamie McMurray, who won for the first time since the July 2007 race at Daytona. Stewart-Haas Racing's Ryan Newman endured a horrific crash, followed by one in which Hendrick Motorsports' Mark Martin flipped. What can be done about racing at Talladega? And has Jimmie Johnson, who escaped the melees and now has a 184-point lead, run away with a fourth straight title? SceneDaily.com's panel discusses.

SceneDaily.com and Rowdy.com join forces to discuss hot issues in NASCAR, from why Junior Johnson is in the hall of fame and David Pearson is not to the disparity among Hendrick Motorsports teams to the fact that Juan Pablo Montoya is contending for the championship without a race win.

Early years James Charles Rodgers was born in Meridian, Mississippi, the youngest of three sons. His mother died when he was very young, and Rodgers spent the next few years living with various relatives in southeast Mississippi and southwest Alabama. He eventually returned home to live with his father, Aaron Rodgers, a foreman on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, who had settled with a new wife in Meridian. Jimmie's affinity for entertaining came at an early age, and the lure of the road was irresistible to him. By age 13, he had twice organized and begun traveling shows, only to be brought home by his father. Mr. Rodgers found Jimmie his first job working on the railroad, as a waterboy. This is where he learned the cries and moans of the blues and was taught to pick and strum by the rail workers and the hoboes. A few years later, he became brakeman on the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad, a position secured by his oldest brother, Walter, a conductor on the line running between Meridian and New Orleans. In 1924 at the age of 27, Jimmie contracted tuberculosis. The disease temporarily ended his railroad career, but, at the same time, gave him the chance to get back to his first love, entertainment. He organized a traveling road show and performed across the southeast until, once again, he was forced home after a cyclone destroyed his tent. He returned to railroad work as a brakeman on the east coast of Florida at Miami, but eventually his illness cost him his job. He relocated to Tucson, Arizona and was employed as a switchman by the Southern Pacific. The job lasted less than a year, and the Rodgers family (which by then included wife Carrie and daughter Anita) had settled back in Meridian by early 1927. Rodgers decided to travel to Asheville, North Carolina, later that same year. On April 18, at 9:30 p.m., Jimmie and Otis Kuykendall performed for the first time on WWNC, Asheville's first radio station. A few months later Jimmie recruited a group from Tennessee called the Tenneva Ramblers and secured a weekly slot on the station as the Jimmie Rodgers Entertainers. The Tenneva Ramblers originally hailed from Bristol, Tennessee, and in late July 1927, Rodgers' bandmates got word that Ralph Peer, a representative of the Victor Talking Machine Company, was coming to Bristol to audition and record area musicians. Rodgers and the group arrived in Bristol on August 3, 1927. Later that same day, they auditioned for Peer in an empty warehouse. Peer agreed to record them the next day. That night, as the band discussed how they would be billed on the record, an argument ensued and the band broke up and Rodgers arrived at the recording session alone. On Wednesday, August 4, 1927, Jimmie Rodgers completed his first session for Victor. It lasted from 2:00 p.m. to 4:20 p.m. and yielded two songs: The Soldier's Sweetheart and Sleep, Baby, Sleep . For the test recordings, Rodgers received $100. The recordings were released on October 7, 1927, to modest success. In November; Rodgers, determined more than ever to make it in entertainment, headed to New York City in an effort to arrange another session with Peer. Peer agreed to record him again, and the two met in Philadelphia before traveling to Camden, New Jersey, to the Victor studios. Four songs made it out of this session, including Blue Yodel , better known as T for Texas . In the next two years, this recording sold nearly half a million copies, which was impressive enough to rocket Rodgers into stardom. After this, he got to determine when Peer and Victor would record him, and he sold out shows whenever and wherever he played. In the next few years, Rodgers was very busy. He did a movie short for Columbia Pictures, The Singing Brakeman, and made various recordings across the country. He toured with humorist Will Rogers as part of a Red Cross tour across the Midwest. On July 16, 1930, he recorded Blue Yodel No. 9 with jazz trumpeter Louis Armstrong, whose wife, Lillian, played piano on the recording. THIS SEGMENT OF JIMMIE'S BIOGRAPHY WAS TAKEN FROM WIKIPEDIA. THE REMAINDER OF THE BIO IS AVAILABLE TO ANYONE THERE. THIS SONG IS LISTED IN WIKIPEDIA AS THE ONLY COUNTRY MUSIC HIT OF 1932.

Cactus Theater Lubbock TX 090107 Joe doesn't play this song much anymore. I feel so lucky and honored to have captured it here. Funny thing though, every time I hear it I want to quit my job of 21 years to Roll Again.

Jimmie Dale Gilmore performs 'Dallas' and Butch Hancock's 'Bluebird' at Joe's Pub on December 16, 2007. Rob Gjersoe accompanied him on guitar. Special guest Jenny Scheinman accompanied him on fiddle. Because they have never played with Jenny, JDG and Rob seemed a little bit tentative instrumentally. It was a great show.
